In the pregrame show, Hayford said that Chiverton not only has the fractured foot, but a broken finger. I'm gonna guess that's why his shooting % has gone down. Also, I don't like our chances for winning out. ISU has come on strong, and is in 3rd place. I still think we'll squeak into the tourney, but we're not getting to host.Eagle1990 said:

We are 1 game out of 4th place, 2 out of 3rd. If we win on Wednesday, we almost lock ourselves into the big sky tourney as we would lead UNC by 1.5 games with 3 to go. We also play ISU twice and PSU once, if we win out (conference games) we will finish in 3rd. Considering I think we beat UNC, If we go 2-1 after that including a win at PSU, we should end up 4th. If we go 1-2 we will be playing on the road in the tourney, 0-3 and we may not make it and probably don't deserve too if thats the case.

Win out? I want some of whatever 1990 is smoking! Need I remind everybody that within the last 10 days, we barely won on the road against one of the 20 worst teams in D1 (NAU - 331rpi) and got beat AT HOME by Sac State who is 310 in the rpi. At least we must have defended with a little heart at Weber to hold them below 40%. I guess that is cause for a little optimism??? Call me skeptical, but since the middle of December I havent seen anything that would lead me to believe we can win 5 games in a row - including 3 on the road. This team has regressed quite a bit since mid-December.
Maybe marceag has a point about Chiverton because Dean's shooting % dropped dramatically from his freshman year to his soph year when he played with the broken foot. I tend to think Chiv's poor % is more a function of the god-awful shots that he attempts (same for Colimon), and that Dean's % decrease was probably more related to missing 2 months of practice from mid-Oct until nearly Christmas. But I can see how the argument could be made.
